Sure it takes place
Sure it takes place in the past, but it has a good story line, good acting, and good cinematography. Film is good, it is primitive, and it is a love story. It is a love story with beautiful scenery, beautiful film-making, and beautiful music. The ending was a revelation. A glimpse into the past, and the past of the world. I love and respect all of the films that are made in Romania
Sure it takes place in 1947, the World War II and the war that followed, but it's great fun to see the two sides as they compete for the honor of being the first Europeans to enter the armed forces. I can't recommend it very highly enough, especially for fans of the real history of the battle, but it'll make you want to get out and see it again for the first time.
